A Brush With Greatness - Pt2

Ebay seems to be the largest source I've found for 16mm movies. Sadly, as you pointed out, the costs are still too prohibitive for casual viewers like us.

One example of a movie I saw go through on ebay was Saturn 3, a science fiction film from 1980. While it's not exactly a masterpiece, it would have been fun to have around for a summer Friday evening showing on the back deck. It went for around 500+ dollars if I recall which is completely outside of my budget. Sort of unfortunate because having a projector and no film is a waste. Still, one never knows so I'll keep my eye watchful on ebay now and then.

As for the projector, I found an Eiki NT-0 in a thrift store about four years ago. One of the local schools had apparently given it to the store and I managed to snag it for 10 dollars. I'll post a picture of it up on my blog one of these days. :)
